Port Saint Joe House Rental Photos and Description

3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, Sleeps 8

You enter this spacious 3 BR/2.5 bath ocean-front home (2,600 sq ft) by passing through a a fully screened pool patio area housing a private pool and numerous decorative palm trees.

The second floor offers a kitchen area; family area, breakfast nook; gulf side dining area; half bath and laundry room. There are ten foot ceilings and custom designed window louvres in the family area, while a furnished screened porch offers beach access via your own private boardwalk to the white powder sands the Gulf of Mexico is famous for.

The third floor offers three spacious bedrooms, two of which provide access to a large, beach front porch with an incredible view of the beach and the Gulf. Two bedrooms have king sized beds, the third a queen. The second floor family area also provides a queen sized pull-out sofa.

We had a GREAT stay in this fantastic house. The house was as described, but even better. This is a beautiful house and it's in a great location. The house was VERY clean upon our arrival, and in good overall shape. We loved everything about it. The beach was outstanding and uncrowded. We loved the screened in porch off the living room. We had breakfast out there most mornings. The outdoor furniture was comfortable. The pool and hot tub were a lot of fun, although we never could figure out how to turn on the pool lights at night. The front yard is nice. This is just a great property and hopefully we will visit again. Coastal Joe's was very efficient and great to deal with. We would highly recommend this property.

Our 4th year at this house. Still love the place, but porches need work and the patio furniture could use an update. Beds are very comfortable and the house is very clean. Would really enjoy the spa at the pool if it was warm. Beach is not as nice anymore since the bayou came through. But we still found a place not far from the house, to pitch our tent for the week. I think the carpet is new in the bedrooms? It's hard to find houses with a pool in that area, so that is a plus for us!!!

Owner's Response: We truly appreciate your return visits every year! The owner has done many things to Paradise Palms to try and keep up with the suggestions from guests. There is a new sink and tile around the sink. There is a new stove and YES, the home had new carpet put in. I'm so glad that you noticed. We will work on getting the oustide furniture updated for your next visit. We did have an upholstery company come out and clean all of the outside cushions and inside sofas just recently.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.

Reviewer Comments:

The house was large and comfortable for our 6 visitors. The private pool, patios, and large living areas were especially nice. The beach was nice, but not as nice as Destin. The creek that ran in front of the house into the gulf was tea colored and made the gulf waters unclear. The sofa bed in the living room needs to be replaced. It was so uncomfortable that no guest would sleep on it folded out. They just slept on it as a couch which was too short, but still more comfortable than when it was folded out.

We have always enjoyed our stay here but this stay was not as delightful as the other times we have been here. My husband and I have taken our two grandchildren because they love the swimming pool. We were told the pool was ready to go...some lights came on but not where the water fall is located. That was a bummer for the second summer. Indoors we were shocked to see so many knats. We had to purchase some bug spray and though we sprayed one night....the bugs were everywhere once again. We sprayed again and when the bugs died the floor was covered with bugs. We would not allow the children to walk where the bugs were laying. It was not the wonderful place we have rented the other 4 times. We have always had a nice time there and we made the best out of this trip. After calling for help in the house two guys came out and sprayed the house again. We understand there are going to be bugs or knats there in Florida but we have never seen so many. We are sure this house will be exterminated and the situation will be completely taken care of.....we have always enjoyed this property. A kiddie pool?? There is a hot tub and a FANTASTIC pool with steps for the little ones to play....but I have not found a kiddie pool. Over the years we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paradise Palms but we have out grown this place which we felt was our own when we were there...we will get the same people to find us a bigger house with a pool so it all works out to be wonderful in the end.

Owner's Response: We do appreciate all the feedback and your loyalty to this home and our company. We are thrilled to report that Paradise Palms was blocked off last week and we were able to do some upgrades, replacements and maintenance work on the home. The most important being the entire home just got brand new carpet!! This will make a huge difference and we know our guests will be thrilled. The home also got a brand new kitchen sink and a new stove was put in within the last few months. I am not sure how to address the gnats being in the home. You all were the first guests to report this problem. The home is on a bug spray program and gets sprayed once a month. We will be paying close attention for sure.

My husband, children and I typically stay in the Seagrove, Seacrest 30-A region but have become disenchanted with the commercialization and crowds. We have puppies that we love, but have never vacationed with, so thought this would be a new perfect adventure. We were wrong. This home was completely filthy. I don't think any upkeep has been done at all. The carpet was FILTHY. Urine stains absolutely everywhere. I suppose "pet friendly" means we're all in the dog house. We used our beach towels as slip covers for the furniture and I spent the 1st day trying to bleach the grimy aged kitchen and bathroom surfaces, but to no avail. We actually packed up and left 2 days early. The proximity to the beach is nice (although the waters were quite brown during our stay) but I couldn't get over the conditions of the home. I am truly disappointed that our once a year vacation was wasted on this.

So beautiful and peaceful! Dolphin watching every morning and beach fires at night! All kids and doggies and parents had so much fun! I wish I could stay forever! Can't wait to go back! Thank you Coastal Joe's rentals! Save the date for all of us next year!
